City Lawyer Hassan Male Mabirizi has filed an application seeking to stay execution of all orders issued by High Court Judge Musa Ssekaana against him including his illegal arrest and detention for 18 months in jail.
According to Mabirizi, the order issued by Justice Ssekaana is illegal because no man a judge in his own cause since he (Ssekaana) was the victim and same time the judge in the same cause he is alleged to have been abused by the latter.
Mabirizi states that Ssekaana could not sit in the case, the same way Judge Phillip Odoki didn’t sit in the case where it was alleged that he had been abused.
Justice Christopher Madrama of the Court of Appeal has set Tuesday, February 22nd, to hear this appeal.
Background
Sekaana and Mabirizi have been at logger-heads since 2019 when the latter took on his official Twitter and Facebook accounts to castigate the judge to recuse himself from a number of cases he has filed.
Mabirizi is then said to have labeled Ssekaana as being incompetent, biased, and not fit to be a judge.
However last month, Sekaana fined Mabirizi to a tune of shs 300m after finding him in contempt of court when he attacked his fellow judge Phillip Odoki for dismissing a case in relation to Capital Market Authorities and MTN.
Sekaana then issued an order gaging Mabirizi to attack judicial officers.
